I think the previous biggest was Manchester City in 2011, 2012, when they first started spending like maniacs.

It was like $199 million.

They spent 65 million on agents alone.

They're not going to be in trouble with PSR because you can sell your women's team to yourself for 200 million.

But UEFA don't allow that.

So I think when they qualify for Europe again, I don't see how they can do this unless they dismantle the team or come up with some other strategy.

Their relationship with UEFA is very good.

Maybe that helps a little bit.

But numbers-wise, I think it's really difficult to get out of this.

And by the way, winning the Club World Cup netted them £86 million.

But one third of that amount has been counted already in this year.

So they've got a lot less of a cushion going into next year.

More Chelsea.

Mark Kukureya had a few things to say, Jules.
